I spoke with (Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban - ed.) a few days ago, and he made it clear that he strongly supports Sweden's membership in the Alliance. The Hungarian parliament is not in session at the moment, but it will meet at the end of February, and it was said that they will decide on ratification shortly after that

Stoltenberg said.

He noted that Finland and Sweden's accessions to NATO are among the fastest in history.

Finland became a full member last April, and I expect Sweden to become a member very soon. This shows that NATO is not only getting stronger, but also bigger
